Story

This darling little Jack Russell boy is a young 18 month male that weighs 20 pounds and is a solid little love of a dog. His name is Puppa-Doo and he is an owner surrender that we are seeing far too many of lately. Who doesn't love a bright and happy to be alive Terrier pup that dances when you come home from a long day at the job. Puppa-Doo is great family dog just waiting to fit right in when you invite him to come home with you!!! He is housebroken and will go to door to alert you when he needs to go out. That is a huge plus in most family's check list. He loves to chase the cat for sport and fun and he will of course do a record demolition destuffing of any weak plush toy. Oh, how he loves to do that. And then to keep him responding to sounds, a squeaky toy just makes his soul delight and sore to rapid panting and smiles. He gets super excited when you play throw the squeaky toy. Puppy-Doo also will play fetch and chase if you want and that is perfect for young children who want a playful dog in their life. At the end of the day and lots playtime, he likes to give kisses and lay on your lap. . He's a door greeter-both inside the house and when a car pulls up. He adores love and attention and likes to sit and watch TV when you are there watching it with him. . And if you want a bed buddy then please let him crawl right up there next to you i He is a great protector and will alert you like a doorbell would and barks when he hears a car on the gravel driveway. All great and normal dog responsibilities that you want in your family lover and protector. And when someone shows up to visit at the house he runs circles around the outside of the house which is her own personal canine racetrack. He is active like a JRT should be. He is made that way. Crate trained and housebroken and good with other dogs and kids and adults. What more do you want in a dog and for your lifestyle. A physically fenced yard or invisible fence would be good to have for this boy. Safety for your family pet is so important. If you are interested please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com PLEASE NOTE: Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted. Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site. The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.

Story

Sawyer came from a hoarding situation. He is a bit shy but with the help of our staff and a loving adopter he will make a great addition to any family. He needs to interact with people as he didn't get much interaction in the situation he was in. We are working on leash and potty training. He is 7 years old and fully vetted, heart worm negative and microchipped. He is in need of a loving family to love him so he can show them his love as well. Won't you please consider adding Sawyer as a new family member? He is being fostered in Tennessee, but we transport using the most animal friendly transport on the road. Rescue Riders Pet Transport.

Story

My name is Bella. I am a fantastic senior! I am about 8.5 and 60ish lbs. I could stand to lose about 5 lbs or so. We think I am best described as a Lab/Collie mix with a bit of Shepherd to round me off. No one is perfect but I am pretty close to it. I am the whole package. I am calm but still have energy to romp in the yard, go on nice strolls and play with some toys. I can go at the pace of whatever family adopts me. I listen nicely and have great house manners. I am very affectionate but not in-your-face. I am playful and a great walking buddy. I am the kind of dog where you feel surprised after 3 days that I haven't lived with you for 3 years. I settle in seamlessly. I am housebroken and have no need for any type of crate. I am great with cats. I also have no animosity towards dogs but I don't need an energetic playful dog in my home. Another settled dog would be fine or I am happy to live with just my people. I am good with kids too and have lived with them previously. I am just amazing! I am located in NJ!

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained,

Story

Meet Freddie (Bonded with Ellie) Freddie is a 7-year-old, 15–17 lb sweetheart who is bonded with his best girl, Ellie. These two are a package deal and share a beautiful, comforting bond that makes them truly special. Freddie is neutered, house trained, and crate trained, making him a wonderful and easy companion. He’s partially leash trained and would thrive with a little continued guidance and consistency on walks. He does great with children and other dogs, but he would do best in a home without cats. Freddie has the perfect mix of gentle maturity and playful spirit. He loves being close to his people and finds comfort in having Ellie by his side. Together, they balance each other perfectly and bring a calm, loving energy wherever they go. Their owner is committed to keeping them safe and cared for until a foster or adopter is found — but they truly deserve a forever home where they can stay together and be cherished for years to come. If you’re ready to welcome double the love, Freddie and Ellie are waiting for you.
